Some MobilePro units have exhibited the following symptoms when using Compact Flash Cards or ATA PCMCIA Memory Cards: 1. Storage Card folder is not displayed when you insert a PCMCIA ATA card and/or a Compact Flash card. 2. Warning message "Unidentified PC Card Adapter". 3. Warning message "Storage Card Warning" displayed. To fix these issues: If you have a MobilePro 750C without a ROM upgrade, download the file MP75Pcm.exe from support.necsam.com. For a MobilePro 750C with upgraded ROM, use the file MP75RPcm.exe. After the files are extracted, follow the instructions in the Readme.txt file.

What does Windows Vista error 0x00000005 mean?

Applications that are reading file allocation table (FAT) based storage devices at the time of a resume may receive the following error message from the file system: ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED (0x00000005) This occurs although the file has appropriate sharing and access permission.

Examples of storage media that frequently use the FAT file system on Pocket PC 2002 are the PCMCIA PC Card ATA, the Compact Flash (CF) Storage Card, and the Secure Digital (SD) Memory Card.

This behavior is observed when using Pocket PC 2002 Adaptation Kit Update 4 (AKU4) and later.

RESOLUTION:

Applications can handle this situation by detecting the specific error code while reading a storage card file, and then retrying for a short period until the device is ready. The following is an example C code fragment that demonstrates this concept: while ( !WriteFile( hFile, achBuffer, dwBytesRequested, &dwBytesReturned, 0 ) &&
( ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED == GetLastError() ) )
{
// Access Denied: Maybe the file system is not ready yet.
tries++;
if ( tries > 4 )
break;
Sleep(500);
}
// It has been a few seconds. The file cannot be accessed.

You can use the same approach for other programming languages. For applications that access the storage card through middleware libraries that do not provide direct access to the file system, you may have to implement transactional or block verification methods to get reliable data transfer across a suspend resume.

Hi usama

Look on EBay for one. You might find one on there. You might be able to get away with using a 64mb compact flash card with a pcmcia adaptor as well as a SD card. It can't be any bigger than 64 mbs.

Search under Ricoh memory cards.

They use PCMCIA as well. If you don't have a notebook with pcmcia you will have to get an adapter card for PCI use on a desktop.

Bicu firmware update

You can check on copytechnet.com on how to get it. Heres what I know about it as a copier technician.

Ricoh provides the firmware upgrades to their technicians. The firmware has to be decrypted using a special program the runs about $300 from a company in Germany. Its a proprietary archive file that gets decrypted and put onto a pcmcia memory card. You can find them on EBAY. It has to be 64mb in order for the copier to read it. I tried using a compact flash memory card connected to a pcmcia card and I didn't have any luck using it. The utlility program can lock up the notebook computer as well if it isn't setup right. You can get a pcmcia card reader for a workstation as well. Ricoh used to make those for that particular reason.

What version is it at right now?

Wat is toshiba flash card

"FLASH" generally denotes a compact storage device called
Compact Flash Card. I have an old digital camera that takes compact flash cards.

Newer Toshiba Laptops and Towers have multi card readers installed, my laptop has a SD card reader under my PCMCIA card slot. I also had a (Made for Toshiba) compact flash adapter. That device was nice because it wasn't "Card Bus" it used 8-16 bit technology making it easy to transfer data from a laptop running windows 3.1 to a laptop running Vista
